Lots of folks experience AHA! moments. I think they can be loosely defined as a moment in time when someone's perceptions were altered, a grand truth was revealed, and their life was changed.
Sometimes the AHA! will be tied to a major life event like a divorce, becoming a parent or a loved one's passing. Sometimes it's triggered by a "rock bottom" juncture like waking up and finding one's self in the gutter with a big hangover.
I too have experienced an AHA! moment. My life (already wonderful) did not change but rather, I changed. My epiphany came when I no longer believed in miracles, or thought there possibly could be miracles, I KNEW without a doubt that miracles do exist.
A passage from the Friday night siddur says: Blessed are You, Adonai, who gives life to all (who revives the dead). Baruch atah, Adonai, m'chayeih hakol (hameitim).
AHA!
